Credit Quality

The ALL was $83.4 million at the close of the third quarter of 2021, compared to $104.2 million at the close of the second quarter of 2021, and $116.8 million at the close of the third quarter of 2020. The Company released $5.0 million from the ALL in both the third and second quarters of 2021, compared to a provision of $18.0 million recorded in the third quarter of 2020. The ALL release during the third quarter of 2021 was primarily attributed to (i) a release of approximately $2 million as a result of upgrades, payoffs and pay downs of non-performing loans and special mention loans, and (ii) a release of approximately $3 million due to lower loan volume and the decision to classify $219 million New York Commercial Real Estate (“CRE”) loans as available for sale at September 30, 2021. These loans are recorded at the lower of their carrying cost or fair value, which did not have an impact to earnings, but resulted in additional loan loss reserve release. The ALL associated with the COVID-19 pandemic remained flat at approximately $14.4 million in the third quarter compared to $14.8 million in the second quarter of 2021, and decreased compared to $26.2 million in the third quarter of 2020.

Net charge-offs during the third quarter of 2021 totaled $15.7 million, compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $20.8 million in the third quarter of 2020. From the charge-offs in the third quarter of 2021, $5.7 million were in connection with the Coffee Trader relationship. There was no impact to earnings as $16.4 million out of the $17.1 million in charge-offs were reserved for in previous quarters as a result of impairment analysis performed on non-performing loans. The $39.8 million Coffee Trader relationship had an outstanding balance of $13.9 million as of the end of the third quarter of 2021. Charge-offs to date in connection with this relationship total $25.0 million, together with a $0.9 million partial payment received during the third quarter of 2020.

Classified and special mention loans decreased 31.3% and 16.4% compared to the second quarter of 2021, respectively, and 3.8% and 9.8% compared to the third quarter of 2020, respectively.

Non-performing assets totaled $92.5 million at the end of the third quarter of 2021, a decrease of $29.0 million or 23.8%, compared to the second quarter of 2021, and an increase of $6.0 million, or 7.0%, compared to the third quarter of 2020 due to the decrease in classified loans mentioned above. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets at the end of the third quarter of 2021 was 124 basis points, down 37 basis points from the second quarter of 2021 and up 16 basis points from the third quarter of 2020. In the third quarter of 2021, the ratio of ALL to non-performing loans increased to 100.8%, from 86.0% at June 30, 2021 and decreased from 135.1% at the close of the third quarter of 2020. As previously disclosed, during 2021 the Company obtained independent third-party collateral valuations on over 80% of non-performing loans, which were over $1 million and had real estate as collateral, supporting current ALL levels. No additional loan loss reserves were deemed necessary as a result of these valuations.

Loans and Deposits

Total loans, including loans held for sale, as of September 30, 2021 were $5.5 billion, down $129.6 million, or 2.3%, compared to June 30, 2021. Total loans includes loans held for sale which totaled $224.9 million and $1.8 million as September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The decrease in total loans was primarily due to loan production being offset by approximately $325 million in prepayments received in CRE and C&I loans and delays in expected closings at the end of the third quarter. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company continued to purchase higher yielding indirect consumer loans. Consumer loans as of September 30, 2021 were $358.5 million, an increase of $47.6 million, or 15.3%, quarter over quarter. The Company purchased approximately $80.3 million of higher-yielding indirect consumer loans during the third quarter of 2021.

Core deposits as of September 30, 2021 were $4.2 billion, an increase of $141.7 million or 3.5%, compared to June 30, 2021. This includes noninterest bearing deposits of $1.21 billion as of September 30, 2021 compared to $1.07 billion as of June 30, 2021. Total deposits as of September 30, 2021 totaled $5.6 billion, slightly down $48.5 million, or 0.9%, compared to June 30, 2021. Domestic deposits totaled $3.1 billion, down $50.0 million, or 1.6%, compared to June 30, 2021, while foreign deposits totaled $2.5 billion, up $1.4 million, or 0.06%, compared to June 30, 2021.

The quarter-over-quarter decline in total deposits was primarily attributable to a reduction of $190.3 million, or 11.7%, in time deposits. Customer CDs compared to the prior quarter decreased $135.5 million, or 10.9%, as the Company continued to lower CD rates and focus on increasing core deposits and emphasizing multi-product relationships versus single product higher-cost CDs. During the third quarter of 2021 customer transaction account balances increased $185.2 million, or 4.7%, compared to June 30, 2021, with noninterest bearing, savings and money market and interest bearing deposits contributing 79%, 6% and 16% to such growth, respectively. Brokered time deposits decreased $54.8 million, or 14.0%, compared to June 30, 2021, and brokered interest bearing and money market deposits during the third quarter of 2021 decreased $43.5 million, or 30.9%, as we continue to de-emphasize this funding source.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Third quarter 2021 NII was $51.8 million, up $1.9 million, or 3.7%, from $50.0 million in the second quarter of 2021 and up $6.5 million, or 14.3%, from $45.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily driven by (i) lower overall deposit costs resulting from declines in average CD balances, downward repricing of time deposits and increased average balances in noninterest bearing deposits; (ii) higher average loan and investment yields, the first being due to an increase in higher-yielding consumer loans; (iii) higher investment portfolio average balances as the Company began redeploying its excess cash and cash equivalents during the period; and (iv) Lower cost and average balances on FHLB advances and borrowings, following the Company’s repayment and rate modification of FHLB advances in May 2021. Of note, cost of total deposits decreased 8 basis points during the third quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2021. Partially offsetting the increase in NII were lower average loan balances due to higher prepayment activity and delays in expected closings at the end of the third quarter.

---

The year-over-year increase in NII was primarily driven by higher average loan and investment yields and lower deposit costs as well as lower average balances on time deposits. Lower cost and average balances on FHLB advances and other borrowings also contributed to the increase. Partially offsetting the year-over-year NII increase were lower average balances on loans as well as available for sale securities and higher average balances on core deposits.

NIM was 2.94% in the third quarter of 2021, up 13 basis points from 2.81% in the second quarter of 2021 and up 55 basis points from 2.39% in the third quarter of 2020. In order to contain NIM pressure, during the third quarter of 2021, Amerant continued to focus on (i) decreasing cost of funds via strategic repricing of customer time and commercial relationship money market deposits and (ii) proactively seeking to increase spreads in loan origination.

As of September 30, 2021, Amerant had $290 million of time deposits maturing in the fourth quarter of 2021. This is expected to decrease the average cost of CDs by approximately 5 basis points and the overall cost of deposits by approximately 1bps. Year-to-date, Amerant has been able to retain approximately 60% of maturing CDs via renewals at lower rates or conversion into core deposits.

Noninterest income

In the third quarter of 2021, noninterest income was $13.4 million, down 14.6% from $15.7 million in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by events that occurred during the second quarter that did not reoccur in the third quarter, including: (i) a net gain of $3.8 million in connection with the sale of $95.1 million of PPP loans in May 2021; (ii) a $2.5 million net loss on early extinguishment of FHLB advances recorded in the second quarter of 2021, as the company repaid $235 million of FHLB advances; and (iii) a $1.3 million in net gain on sale of securities recorded in the second quarter of 2021. Also, contributing to the lower noninterest income was a decrease of $0.8 million in customer derivative income in the third quarter of 2021. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in noninterest income was partially offset by mortgage banking income of $0.7 million and an increase of $0.2 million in fees from brokerage, advisory and fiduciary activities.

Noninterest income decreased $6.9 million, or 33.8%, in the third quarter of 2021 from $20.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. The year-over-year decrease in noninterest income was primarily driven by an $8.6 million decrease in net gains on sale of securities. Partially offsetting the decrease were $0.4 million higher derivative client income and mortgage banking income of $0.7 million. Higher total deposit and service fees as well as fee income from brokerage, advisory and fiduciary activities in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020 also contributed to the offset to the decrease in noninterest income year-over-year.

Amerant Mortgage, Inc. (“AMTM”) continues to execute on its growth strategy. In the third quarter of 2021, AMTM received 108 applications and funded 39 loans totaling $17.9 million.

The Company’s assets under management and custody (“AUM”) totaled $2.19 billion as of September 30, 2021, increasing $55.8 million, or 2.6%, from $2.13 billion as of June 30, 2021, and $425.5 million, or 24.1%, from $1.76 billion as of September 30, 2020. The quarter-over-quarter increase in AUMs was mainly driven by net new assets of $40.2 million. The year-over-year increase in AUMs was primarily driven by increased market value and net new assets of $124.2 million. Net new assets represent 72.0% and 29.2% of the quarter-over-quarter and

year-over-year increases, respectively, as the Company continues to build on its advisory client-focused and relationship-centric strategy.

Noninterest expense

Third quarter of 2021 noninterest expense was $48.4 million, down $2.7 million, or 5.3%, from $51.1 million in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by lower salaries and employee benefits expenses due to the $3.3 million in severance expenses that the Company recorded in the second quarter of 2021 and did not reoccur in the third quarter of 2021. Additionally, the third quarter noninterest expense includes lower occupancy and equipment expenses, as the second quarter 2021 results included a non-recurring $0.8 million lease impairment charge in connection with the closing of the NYC Loan Production Office (“LPO”). There were also lower consulting, legal and other professional fees as well as various other noninterest expenses, which also contributed to the decrease quarter over quarter. Partially offsetting the decrease in noninterest expense were higher variable compensation expenses resulting from higher estimated payouts under the Company's variable compensation programs as well as higher salaries and employee benefits expenses in connection with new hires in the mortgage banking business. Higher depreciation and amortization costs related to the closure of the Wellington branch also contributed to the offset to the decrease in noninterest expense.

Noninterest expense in the third quarter of 2021, increased $2.9 million, or 6.4% compared to $45.5 million in the third quarter of 2020. This increase was primarily driven by higher salaries and employee benefits due to increased variable compensation resulting from (i) the new long term incentive program which was launched in February 2021, and (ii) adjustments to the Company’s non-equity variable compensation program in 2021, at expected performance levels, after having curtailed it in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Higher salaries and employee benefits expenses in connection with new hires, primarily in the mortgage banking business, also contributed to the increase in noninterest expense. Additionally, there were higher professional and other services fees, primarily in connection with the onboarding of the new firm as a result of outsourcing of the Company’s internal audit function, as well as other professional fees, increased rent expense due to the leasing of the Beacon operation center (previously owned) in the third quarter of 2021 and higher telecommunication and data processing expenses compared to the third quarter of 2020. Partially offsetting the increase in noninterest expense were lower severance costs and consulting fees during the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020. Year-to-date, the mortgage business has recorded $3.7 million in noninterest expenses, from which $3.1 million are related to salaries and employee benefits expenses, $0.3 million to professional fees, and the balance to other noninterest expenses.

Restructuring expenses totaled $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2020, primarily due to lower staff reduction costs compared to the second quarter of 2021, as well as the second quarter of 2021 including a nonrecurring lease impairment charge on the NYC LPO.

The efficiency ratio was 74.2% in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 77.8% in the second quarter of 2021, and 69.3% in the third quarter of 2020. The quarter-over-quarter improvement in the efficiency ratio was primarily driven by lower severance expenses incurred during the third quarter of 2021. Partially offsetting this improvement were higher salaries and employee benefits in connection with the investment in building the Amerant Mortgage team, as noted above. The year-over-year increase in the efficiency ratio was primarily attributable to higher salaries and employee benefits previously referenced above. Core efficiency ratio1 improved to

72.95% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to 74.45% in the second quarter of 2021 and 76.53% in the third quarter of 2020.

As part of Amerant’s efforts to make banking easier and provide an enhanced banking experience for customers, the Company signed agreements with leading technology platforms, Alloy and ClickSWITCH®, during the third quarter of 2021. Alloy's Application Programming Interface (“API) service will facilitate and automate the customer onboarding process, online and in branches, for both businesses and individuals, enhancing the protocols in place to capture and review customer data for a more efficient compliance process. ClickSWITCH’s platform is expected to improve share of wallet and customer experience by simplifying and radically reducing the time it takes for consumer and small business customers to switch their direct deposits and automatic payments to Amerant.

As part of Amerant’s keen focus on operating efficiency, during the third quarter of 2021 the Company signed a 10-year lease for a 56,494-square-foot office space in the Miramar Park of Commerce, in Miramar, Florida, where it will relocate its operations center by the end of 2022. The Company closed a banking center in Wellington, FL in October 2021. In addition, as Amerant continues to explore potential expansion opportunities within its core footprint, in the third quarter, after finding such an opportunity in downtown Miami, submitted its application to the OCC to open a new branch in this location.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

The Company’s capital continues to be strong and well in excess of the minimum regulatory requirements to be considered “well-capitalized” at September 30, 2021.

Stockholders’ equity attributable to the Company totaled $812.7 million as of September 30, 2021, up $13.6 million, or 1.7%, from $799.1 million as of June 30, 2021. This was primarily driven by net income in the third quarter of 2021, partially offset by the decline of $2.5 million in the fair value of debt securities available for sale, and $1.2 million in Class B shares repurchased by the Company during the third quarter of 2021. Stockholders’ equity attributable to the Company increased $29.2 million, or 3.7%, in the first nine months of 2021 from $783.4 million as of December 31, 2020.This was primarily driven by net income in the first nine months of 2021, partially offset by the decline of $10.2 million in the fair value of debt securities available for sale, and $9.6 million in Class B shares repurchased by the Company during the first nine months of 2021. Book value per common share increased to $21.68 at September 30, 2021 compared to $21.27 at June 30, 2021. TBV1 increased to $21.08 at September 30, 2021 compared to $20.67 at June 30, 2021.

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company continued to demonstrate its commitment to increasing total return to shareholders. As announced during the second quarter of 2021, the Company received a $40 million dividend giving the Company more capacity and flexibility for general corporate purposes, including share repurchases. On September 10, 2021 the board of directors authorized a new share repurchase program, under which the Company may purchase, from time to time, up to $50 million of Class A common stock (the “Class A Repurchase Program”). As of September 30, 2021, the Company had repurchased approximately $9.6 million of Class B shares since the launch of its Class B share repurchase program in March 2021, which was terminated by the Company in September 2021. Additionally, as previously announced on September 13, 2021, the Company intends to effect a clean-up merger (the “Merger”), subject to shareholder approval, providing for (i) each outstanding share of Class B common stock to be automatically converted to 0.95 of a share of Class A common stock and (ii)

a new class of non-voting Class A common stock to be created. The Company intends to hold a special shareholders meeting (the “Special Meeting”) on November 15, 2021, to seek approval of the Merger.

Amerant’s liquidity position continues to be strong and includes cash and cash equivalents of $166.2 million at the close of the third quarter of 2021, compared to $171.5 million as of June 30, 2021, and $214.4 million as of December 31, 2020. Additionally, as of September 30, 2021, the Company had $1.4 billion in available borrowing capacity with the FHLB, compared to $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2021.

(1) Total loans include loans held for investment net of unamortized deferred loan origination fees and costs. In addition, at September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, total loans include $219.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in loans held for sale carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. In addition, as of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, total loans include $5.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in mortgage loans held for sale carried at fair value.

(2)     Core deposits consist of total deposits excluding all time deposits.

(3) On March 10, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program which provides for the potential repurchase of up to $40 million of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (the “2021 Stock Repurchase Program”). In the third, second and first quarters of 2021, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 63,000, 386,195 and 116,037 shares of Class B common stock, respectively, at a weighted average price per share of $18.55, $16.62 and $15.98, respectively, under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company completed a modified “Dutch auction” tender offer to purchase, for cash, up to $50.0 million of shares of its Class B common stock, and accepted to purchase 4,249,785 shares of Class B common stock in the tender offer at a price of $12.55 per share. The purchase price for this transaction was approximately $54.1 million, including $0.8 million in related fees and other expenses.

(4) Assets held for clients in an agency or fiduciary capacity which are not assets of the Company and therefore are not included in the consolidated financial statements.

(5) In the three months ended September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, and in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net income exclude losses of $0.6 million, $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively, attributable to a 49% minority interest of Amerant Mortgage LLC. We had no minority interest at any of the other periods shown.

(6) This presentation contains adjusted financial information determined by methods other than GAAP. This adjusted financial information is reconciled to GAAP in Exhibit 2 - Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation.

(7) In the three months ended September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021 and in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, potential dilutive instruments consisted of unvested shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance share units (restricted stock and restricted stock units for all of the other periods shown). For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, potential dilutive instruments were not included in the diluted earnings per share computation because the Company reported a net loss and their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect. For all other periods presented, potential dilutive instruments were included in the diluted earnings per share computation because, when the unamortized deferred compensation cost related to these shares was divided by the average market price per share in those periods, fewer shares would have been purchased than restricted shares assumed issued. Therefore, in those periods, such awards resulted in higher diluted weighted average shares outstanding than basic weighted average shares outstanding, and had a dilutive effect in per share earnings.

(8)     Operating data for the periods presented have been annualized.

(9)     NIM is defined as NII divided by average interest-earning assets, which are loans, securities, deposits with banks and other financial assets which yield interest or similar income.

(10)Calculated based upon the average daily balance of total assets.

(11)    Calculated based upon the average daily balance of stockholders’ equity.

(12)    Total revenue is the result of net interest income before provision for loan losses plus noninterest income.

(13)    Total stockholders’ equity divided by total risk-weighted assets, calculated according to the standardized regulatory capital ratio calculations.

(14)    Tier 1 capital divided by total risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 capital is composed of Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital plus outstanding qualifying trust preferred securities of $62.3 million at each of all the dates presented.

(15)    Tier 1 capital divided by quarter to date average assets.

(16)CET1 capital divided by total risk-weighted assets.

(17)    Tangible common equity is calculated as the ratio of common equity less goodwill and other intangibles divided by total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets. Other intangibles assets consist of, among other things, mortgage servicing rights and are included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

(18)Non-performing assets include all accruing loans past due by 90 days or more, all nonaccrual loans, restructured loans that are considered “troubled debt restructurings” or “TDRs”, and OREO properties acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure.

(19)Non-performing loans include all accruing loans past due by 90 days or more, all nonaccrual loans and restructured loans that are considered TDRs.

(20)Calculated based upon the average daily balance of outstanding loan principal balance net of unamortized deferred loan origination fees and costs, excluding the allowance for loan losses. During the third and second quarters of 2021, there were net charge offs of $15.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively. In the first quarter of 2021, there were zero net charge offs. During the third quarters of 2021 and 2020, the Company charged off $5.7 million and $19.3 million, respectively, against the allowance for loan losses as result of the deterioration of one commercial loan relationship.

(21)Other operating expenses is the result of total noninterest expense less salary and employee benefits.

(22)Efficiency ratio is the result of noninterest expense divided by the sum of noninterest income and NII.

(23)As of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, includes 52 and 38 FTEs for Amerant Mortgage LLC, respectively.

(24)Core efficiency ratio is the efficiency ratio less the effect of restructuring costs and other adjustments, described in Exhibit 2 - Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation.

Exhibit 2- Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation

The following table sets forth selected financial information derived from the Company’s interim unaudited and annual audited consolidated financial statements, adjusted for certain costs incurred by the Company in the periods presented related to tax deductible restructuring costs, provision for (reversal of) loan losses, provision for income tax expense (benefit), the effect of non-core banking activities such as the sale of loans and securities, and other non-recurring actions intended to improve customer service and operating performance. The Company believes these adjusted numbers are useful to understand the Company’s performance absent these transactions and events.

____________

(1)     The Company leased-back the property for a 2-year term.

(2)     Expenses incurred for actions designed to implement the Company’s strategy as a new independent company. These actions include, but are not limited to reductions in workforce, streamlining operational processes, rolling out the Amerant brand, implementation of new technology system applications, enhanced sales tools and training, expanded product offerings and improved customer analytics to identify opportunities.

(3) In the second quarter of 2021, includes expenses in connection with the departure of the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and the elimination of various other support function positions, including the NYC LPO. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a voluntary early retirement plan for certain eligible long-term employees and an involuntary severance plan for certain other positions consistent with the Company’s effort to streamline operations and better align its operating structure with its business activities. 31 employees elected to participate in the voluntary plan, all of whom retired on or before December 31, 2020. The involuntary plan impacted 31 employees most of whom no longer worked for the Company and/or its subsidiaries by December 31, 2020. On December 28, 2020, the Company determined the termination costs and annual savings related to the voluntary and involuntary plans. The Company incurred approximately $3.5 million and $1.8 million in one-time termination costs in the fourth quarter of 2020 in connection with the voluntary and involuntary plans, respectively, the majority of which will be paid over time in the form of installment payments until December 2021. The Company estimates that the voluntary and involuntary plans will yield estimated annual savings of approximately $4.2 million and $5.5 million, respectively, for combined estimated annual savings of approximately $9.7 million beginning in 2021.

(4) In the nine months ended September 30,2021 and 2020, and in the three months ended March 31, 2021, amounts were calculated based upon the effective tax rate for the periods of 22.74%, 20.80% and 20.15%, respectively. For all of the other periods shown, amounts represent the difference between the prior and current period year-to-date tax effect.

(5) In the three months ended September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021 and in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, potential dilutive instruments consisted of unvested shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance share units (restricted stock and restricted stock units for all of the other periods shown). For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, potential dilutive instruments were not included in the diluted earnings per share computation because the Company reported a net loss and their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect. For all other periods presented, potential dilutive instruments were included in the diluted earnings per share computation because, when the unamortized deferred compensation cost related to these shares was divided by the average market price per share in those periods, fewer shares would have been purchased than restricted shares assumed issued. Therefore, in those periods, such awards resulted in higher diluted weighted average shares outstanding than basic weighted average shares outstanding, and had a dilutive effect in per share earnings.

(6) Other intangibles assets consist of, among other things, mortgage servicing rights of $0.6 million and $0.5 million at September 30, 2021 and June 30 2021, respectively, and are included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
